[0021] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0022] In the prior art, in order to prevent people from getting wet in the rain, a rolling curtain is arranged at the door opening and closing position, and the rolling curtain is combined with the door. The rolling curtain needs to be installed on both the vehicle body and the door. When it rains, the rolling curtain at the door opening position is driven by the opening and closing of the door to drive the opening and closing of the rolling curtain to achieve the purpose of rain shielding. However, its rain shielding position is relatively low and the space range is small. When in use, people need to bend down to enter the vehicle and then close the umbrella, which affects the user experience. Moreover, it is necessary to open the rolling curtain through the connection of two modules on the vehicle body and the door, and the use convenience is poor.

[0023] Due to two rain-shielding mechanisms oppositely arranged at the top of the vehicle body, when it is raining and people need to enter or exit the vehicle from either side of the vehicle body, they can be shielded by the rain-shielding mechanisms, improving the personnel experience. Since the rain-shielding mechanisms include a first rain-shielding component and a second rain-shielding component arranged in sequence along the vehicle length direction, the rain-shielding area is increased through the first rain-shielding component and the second rain-shielding component, preventing people from getting wet when entering or exiting the vehicle. Since the housing is liftably arranged at the top of the vehicle body to switch between a first position and a second position higher than the first position, the fixed end of the driving member is connected to the housing, one end of the curtain component is connected to the moving end of the driving member, and the other end passes through the housing. When the housing is in the first position, the curtain component is in a retracted state under the drive of the driving member. When the housing is in the second position, the curtain component is in an unfolded state under the drive of the driving member. Therefore, when people need to enter or exit the vehicle, the housing rises to make the housing in the second position, raising the height of the curtain component, preventing people from bending down to enter the vehicle. The moving end of the driving member rotates, and the curtain component extends under the drive of the driving member to make the curtain component in an unfolded state, enabling rain shielding and preventing people from getting wet when getting on or off the vehicle. When people leave below the curtain component, the moving end of the driving member rotates, and the curtain component retracts under the drive of the driving member to make the curtain component in a retracted state, and the housing descends to make the housing in the first position, occupying a small space, being convenient for layout, and ensuring aesthetics.

[0032] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 An umbrella device provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes two rain shielding mechanisms 1 oppositely arranged on the top of a vehicle body 2. Each rain shielding mechanism includes a first rain shielding component 1-1 and a second rain shielding component 1-2 arranged in sequence along the vehicle length direction.

[0033] Both the first rain shielding component 1-1 and the second rain shielding component 1-2 include: a housing 1-11, a driving member 1-12, and a curtain component 1-13.

[0034] The housing 1-11 is arranged on the top of the vehicle body 2 in a liftable manner to switch between a first position and a second position higher than the first position.

[0035] The fixed end of the driving member 1-12 is connected to the housing 1-11.

[0036] One end of the curtain component 1-13 is connected to the moving end of the driving member 1-12, and the other end passes through the housing 1-11.

[0037] Wherein, when the housing 1-11 is in the first position, the curtain component 1-13 is in a retracted state under the drive of the driving member 1-12; when the housing 1-11 is in the second position, the curtain component 1-13 is in an unfolded state under the drive of the driving member 1-12.

[0038] The driving member 1-12 can be a motor.

[0039] A reel 1-14 is arranged at the moving end of the driving member 1-12, and the curtain component 1-13 is fixedly connected to the reel 1-14.

[0040] In the prior art, in order to prevent people from getting wet in the rain, a rolling curtain is arranged at the position where the car door opens and closes, so that the rolling curtain is combined with the car door. Rolling curtains need to be installed on both the vehicle body and the car door. When it rains, the rolling curtain at the position of the car door opening is driven by the opening and closing of the car door to drive the opening and closing of the rolling curtain to achieve the purpose of rain shielding. However, its rain shielding position is relatively low and the space range is small. When in use, people need to bend down to enter the car and then close the umbrella, which affects the user experience. Moreover, it is necessary to open the rolling curtain through the connection of two modules on the vehicle body and the car door, and the use convenience is poor.

[0041] Due to the two rain shielding mechanisms 1 oppositely arranged on the top of the vehicle body 2, when it is raining and personnel need to enter or exit the vehicle from either side of the vehicle body 2, they can be shielded by the rain shielding mechanism 1, improving the personnel experience. Since the rain shielding mechanism includes a first rain shielding component 1-1 and a second rain shielding component 1-2 arranged in sequence along the vehicle length direction, the rain shielding area is increased through the first rain shielding component 1-1 and the second rain shielding component 1-2, preventing personnel from getting wet when entering or exiting the vehicle. Since the housing 1-11 is arranged on the top of the vehicle body 2 in a liftable manner to switch between a first position and a second position higher than the first position, the fixed end of the driving member 1-12 is arranged inside the housing 1-11, one end of the curtain component 1-13 is connected to the moving end of the driving member 1-12, and the other end passes through the housing 1-11. When the housing 1-11 is in the first position, the curtain component 1-13 is in a retracted state under the drive of the driving member 1-12. When the housing 1-11 is in the second position, the curtain component 1-13 is in an unfolded state under the drive of the driving member 1-12. Therefore, when personnel need to enter or exit the vehicle, the housing 1-11 rises to make the housing 1-11 in the second position, raising the height of the curtain component 1-13 to prevent personnel from bending down to enter the vehicle. The moving end of the driving member 1-12 rotates, and the curtain component 1-13 extends under the drive of the driving member 1-12 to make the curtain component 1-13 in an unfolded state for rain shielding, preventing personnel from getting wet when getting on or off the vehicle. When personnel leave below the curtain component 1-13, the moving end of the driving member 1-12 rotates, and the curtain component is retracted under the drive of the driving member 1-12 to make the curtain component 1-13 in a retracted state, and the housing 1-11 descends to make the housing 1-11 in the first position, occupying a small space, being convenient for arrangement, and ensuring aesthetics.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first rain shielding component 1-1 and the second rain shielding component 1-2 can also be used for sun shading.

[0043] See Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the curtain component 1-13 includes: a curtain 1-131 and a plurality of elastic members 1-132.

[0044] One end of the curtain 1-131 is connected to the moving end of the driving member 1-12, and the other end passes through the housing 1-11. The curtain 1-131 is arranged on the plurality of elastic members 1-132, and the curtain 1-131 is supported by the plurality of elastic members 1-132. In this embodiment, the curtain 1-131 can be arranged on the plurality of elastic members 1-132 through strong glue, which is convenient for installation.

[0045] A plurality of elastic members 1-132 are provided on the curtain 1-131, and one end is connected to the action end of the driving member 1-12, and the other end is connected to the side of the curtain 1-131 away from the driving member 1-12. In this embodiment, the elastic member 1-132 can be a soft metal. When the curtain assembly 1-13 is in a retracted state, the elastic member 1-132 is subjected to the retracting force of the driving member 1-12, and the elastic member 1-132 is in a curled state. When the curtain assembly 1-13 is in an unfolded state, the retracting force is released, and the elastic member 1-132 is in a flattened state.

[0046] In this embodiment, a first through groove is opened on the side of the shell 1-11 so that the curtain assembly 1-13 of the first rain shield assembly 1-1 and the second rain shield assembly 1-2 can extend out.

[0047] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, a limit member is provided at one end of the curtain assembly 1-13 away from the driving member 1-12. When the curtain assembly 1-13 is in a retracted state, the limit member is located outside the shell 1-11 to prevent the curtain assembly 1-13 from being excessively rolled into the shell 1-11.

[0048] In this embodiment, the limiting member includes a first limiting member 1-15 and a second limiting member 1-21. The first limiting member 1-15 is disposed on the elastic member farthest from the A-pillar 2-1 among the multiple elastic members of the first rain shield assembly 1-1, and the second limiting member 1-21 is disposed on the elastic member farthest from the side panel 2-2 among the multiple elastic members of the second rain shield assembly 1-2. In this embodiment, the first limiting member 1-15 and the second limiting member 1-21 can be limiting hooks. The first limiting member 1-15 and the second limiting member 1-21 are disposed at the end of the elastic member away from the action end of the driving member 1-12, and are disposed outside the housing 1-11.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the curtain assembly 1-13 is in a retracted state, the first limiting member 1-15 and the second limiting member 1-21 respectively contact the two ends of the shell 1-11 to prevent the curtain 1-131 from being excessively rolled into the shell 1-11.

[0050] In this embodiment, when the curtain assembly 1-13 is in the deployed state, the driving member 1-12 drives the reel 1-14 to slowly rotate to release the winding force, and a plurality of elastic members 1-132 are released. The curtain 1-131 unfolds with the plurality of elastic members 1-132 and slowly moves out from the first through slot of the housing 1-11. After the plurality of elastic members 1-132 unfold, they tend to be parallel to the ground, and the ends will droop due to the gravity of the rolling curtain. The curtain 1-131 that unfolds with the plurality of elastic members 1-132 provides a rain shelter function for the occupants. When the curtain assembly 1-13 is in the retracted state, the driving member 1-12 drives the reel 1-14 to slowly rotate to provide a winding force, and the plurality of elastic members 1-132 and the curtain 1-131 are rolled up as the reel 1-14 rotates, so that the curtain 1-131 and the plurality of elastic members 1-132 are stored in the housing 1-11.

[0051] In this embodiment, a card slot is provided on the reel 1-14, and buckles are provided on both the curtain 1-131 and the plurality of elastic members 1-132. The buckles can be clamped in the card slot to facilitate the connection between the curtain 1-131 and the plurality of elastic members 1-132 and the reel 1-14. Among them, the size of the buckle of the curtain 1-131 clamped in the reel 1-14 is 10 mm, and the size of the buckle of the elastic member 1-132 clamped in the reel 1-14 is 3-5 mm, preventing the curtain 1-131 and the plurality of elastic members 1-132 from detaching from the reel 1-14.

[0052] See Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the first rain shelter assembly 1-1 and the second rain shelter assembly 1-2 further include: a bracket 1-15 and a first lifting member 1-16.

[0053] The bracket 1-15 is connected to the housing 1-11, and the housing 1-11 is supported by the bracket 1-15.

[0054] The moving end of the first lifting member 1-16 is connected to the bracket 1-15, and the fixed end of the first lifting member 1-16 is provided at the top of the vehicle body 2 to support the first lifting member 1-16 through the vehicle body 2.

[0055] In this embodiment, when a person needs to enter or exit the vehicle, the first lifting member 1-16 is started, and the moving end of the first lifting member 1-16 drives the housing 1-11 to rise, so that the housing 1-11 is located at the second position, raising the height of the curtain assembly 1-13 and preventing the person from bending down to enter the vehicle. When the person leaves below the curtain assembly 1-13 and when the curtain assembly 1-13 of the first rain shelter assembly 1-1 and the second rain shelter assembly 1-2 is in the retracted state, the first lifting member 1-16 is started, and the moving end of the first lifting member 1-16 drives the housing 1-11 to descend, so that the housing 1-11 is located at the first position, occupying a small space, being convenient for arrangement, and ensuring aesthetics.

[0056] In this embodiment, the second rain shield assembly 1-2 is disposed on the A-pillar 2-2 of the vehicle body 2. Since the A-pillar is inclined, in order to accommodate the second rain shield assembly 1-2, a trapezoidal groove is formed on the A-pillar to accommodate the second rain shield assembly 1-2.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first lifting member 1-16 can be a hydraulic cylinder. Of course, in other embodiments, the first lifting member 1-16 can also be a driving motor and a ball screw. The moving end of the driving motor drives the housing 1-11 to lift through the ball screw.

[0058] See Figure 5 , in this embodiment, the second rain shield assembly 1-2 further includes: a support member 1-22 and a second lifting member 1-23.

[0059] One end of the support member 1-22 is hinged to the bracket of the second rain shield assembly 1-2, and the other end is connected to the moving end of the first lifting member of the second rain shield assembly 1-2.

[0060] One end of the second lifting member 1-23 is hinged to the bracket of the second rain shield assembly 1-2, and the other end is connected to the moving end of the first lifting member of the second rain shield assembly 1-2. The support member 1-22 is closer to the first rain shield assembly 1-1 than the second lifting member 1-23.

[0061] In this embodiment, since the A-pillar 2-2 of the vehicle body 2 is generally inclined, when the housing of the second rain shield assembly 1-2 is in the first position, the second lifting member 1-23 pulls the bracket of the second rain shield assembly 1-2 to descend, so that the bracket of the second rain shield assembly 1-2 rotates to an inclined state on the support member 1-22, so that the housing of the second rain shield assembly 1-2 is parallel to the A-pillar 2-2 to ensure aesthetics. When the housing of the second rain shield assembly 1-2 is in the second position, the second lifting member 1-23 pushes the bracket of the second rain shield assembly 1-2 to rise, so that the bracket of the second rain shield assembly 1-2 rotates to a horizontal state on the support member 1-22, so that the housing of the second rain shield assembly 1-2 is parallel to the ground, ensuring that the curtain assemblies 1-13 of the second rain shield assembly 1-2 and the first rain shield assembly 1-1 tend to be in the same plane when in the deployed state, ensuring that people can get on and off the vehicle normally without being bumped by the curtain assembly 1-13 of the second rain shield assembly 1-2, and improving the user experience.

[0062] In this embodiment, the second lifting member 1-23 can be a hydraulic cylinder. Of course, in other embodiments, the second lifting member 1-23 can also be a driving motor and a ball screw. The moving end of the driving motor drives the bracket of the second rain shield assembly 1-2 to lift through the ball screw.

[0063] In some embodiments, in order to clean the curtain assembly 1-13 after use, a cleaning brush 1-17 in contact with the curtain assembly 1-13 is provided in the housing 1-11. During the process of the curtain assembly 1-13 moving from the unfolded state to the retracted state, the cleaning brush 1-17 cleans the rainwater and debris on the curtain assembly 1-13, ensuring the cleanliness inside the housing 1-11.

[0064] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also proposes a vehicle that employs the rain shelter device. The specific structure of the rain shelter device refers to the above embodiments. Since the slow-release device adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated herein one by one.

[0065] In some embodiments, the vehicle includes a vehicle body 2 and a rain shelter device. The vehicle body 2 is provided with an A-pillar 2-2 and a side wall 2-1 connected thereto. The first rain shelter assembly 1-1 of the rain shelter device is provided on the side wall 2-1; the second rain shelter assembly 1-2 of the rain shelter device is provided on the A-pillar 2-2.

[0066] In this embodiment, accommodation cavities with openings are formed on both the side wall 2-1 and the A-pillar 2-2, and the accommodation cavities of the side wall 2-1 and the A-pillar 2-2 are in communication. Among them, when the housing 1-11 is in the first position, the housing 1-11 is provided in the accommodation cavity and is in communication with the accommodation cavity. When the housing 1-11 is in the second position, the housing 1-11 passes through the opening to leave the accommodation cavity.

[0067] In this embodiment, when the housing 1-11 is in the first position, the housing 1-11 is accommodated through the accommodation cavity, achieving a hidden layout and ensuring the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle body 2.

[0068] In this embodiment, a second through groove communicating with the accommodation cavity is formed at the bottom of the housing 1-11. When the curtain assembly 1-13 is in the retracted state, the water on the curtain assembly 1-13 can flow into the accommodation cavity through the second through groove.

[0069] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in this embodiment, a plugging assembly 3 is detachably provided at the opening. Among them, when the housing 1-11 is in the first position, the plugging assembly 3 plugs the opening to prevent foreign objects from entering the accommodation cavity. At the same time, it also ensures the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle body top. When the housing 1-11 is in the second position, the plugging assembly 3 opens the opening so that the housing 1-11 can pass through the opening to leave the accommodation cavity.

[0070] In this embodiment, the plugging assembly 3 includes: a connecting member 3-1, a cover body 3-2, and a telescopic member 3-3.

[0071] The cover body 3-2 is connected to the connecting member 3-1.

[0072] The fixed end of the telescopic member 3-3 is arranged on the top of the vehicle body 2, and the action end of the telescopic member 3-3 is reversibly connected to the end of the connecting member 3-1 away from the cover body 3-2. In the present embodiment, the connecting member 3-1 is provided with a connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft is rotatably arranged on the telescopic member 3-3. The telescopic member 3-3 is provided with a driving motor, and the action end of the driving motor is provided with a first gear, and the connecting shaft is provided with a second gear meshing with the first gear. The driving motor drives the connecting shaft to rotate through the first gear and the second gear, and the connecting shaft drives the connecting member 3-1 to flip, and the connecting member 3-1 drives the cover body 3-2 to flip. Of course, in other embodiments, the action end of the telescopic member 3-3 is hinged to one end of the hydraulic cylinder, and the connecting member 3-1 is hinged to the other end of the hydraulic cylinder. Through the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder, the flipping of the connecting member 3-1 can also be achieved.

[0073] In this embodiment, when the shell 1-11 is in the first position, the telescopic member 3-3 pushes the connecting member 3-1 to move in the direction of the opening. When the connecting member 3-1 drives the cover 3-2 to reach the opening, the cover 3-2 turns over on the connecting member 3-1 and covers the opening. The opening is blocked by the cover 3-2 to prevent foreign debris from entering the accommodating cavity, and at the same time, the beauty of the top of the vehicle body is ensured. When the shell 1-11 is in the second position, the cover 3-2 turns over on the connecting member 3-1 and is no longer covered on the opening. The cover 3-2 opens the opening so that the shell 1-11 can pass through the opening to leave the accommodating cavity. At the same time, the telescopic member 3-3 pulls the connecting member 3-1 to move in the direction away from the opening. The connecting member 3-1 drives the cover 3-2 away from the opening to prevent the cover 3-2 from interfering with the movement of the shell 1-11.

[0074] In this embodiment, a slider is provided on the connecting member 3-1, and a slide groove 2-3 is provided on the top of the vehicle body 2. The slider can be slidably arranged in the slide groove. The movement of the connecting member 3-1 is guided and limited by the cooperation between the slider and the slide groove.

[0075] In this embodiment, the telescopic member 3-3 can be a hydraulic cylinder. Of course, in other embodiments, the telescopic member 3-3 can also be a drive motor connected to the connecting member 3-1 and a rack disposed on the top of the vehicle body 2, the action end of the drive motor is provided with a gear meshing with the rack, and the drive motor drives the gear to move on the rack to realize the movement of the cover body 3-2.

[0076] In this embodiment, in order to prevent a large amount of water from entering the accommodating cavity when the curtain assembly 1-13 is in the unfolded state, flexible seals 3-4 are provided on both sides of the opening, and one of the two flexible seals 3-4 is placed on the other flexible seal. The shell 1-11 passes through the two flexible seals 3-2 and is sealed by the two flexible seals 3-2 to ensure that the inside of the vehicle body 2 is dry.

[0077] In this embodiment, in order to drain the water in the accommodation cavity, the rain shelter device further includes a drain pipe 3-5 communicating with the accommodation cavity to ensure the dryness inside the vehicle body 2. To facilitate draining the water, the drain pipe 3-5 communicates with the accommodation cavity of the A-pillar 2-2 and is provided at the lowest point of the accommodation cavity of the A-pillar 2-1.

[0078] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the dryness of the curtain assembly 1-13 after use, the rain shelter device further includes a dryer 3-6 provided in the accommodation cavity. When the curtain assembly 1-13 is in the retracted state, the dryer 3-6 is started to dry the curtain assembly 1-13 to improve the service life of the curtain assembly 1-13.

[0079] In this embodiment, in order to separate the rain shelter mechanism 1 from the interior of the vehicle body and ensure sealing, partition members 3-7 are provided on both the side wall 2-1 and the A-pillar 2-2. The partition members 3-7 cover the openings to form an accommodation cavity, separating the accommodation cavity from the interior of the vehicle body to form a dry area and a wet area, and the wet area accommodates the rain shelter mechanism 1.

[0080] In some embodiments, a third rain shelter 1-18 is provided between the curtain assemblies 1-13 of the first rain shelter assembly 1-1 and the second rain shelter assembly 1-2 to prevent rain from wetting people through the gap between the first rain shelter assembly 1-1 and the second rain shelter assembly 1-2, and further prevent people from being wetted by rain.

[0081] In this embodiment, the structure of the third rain shelter 1-18 may be the same as the structures of the first rain shelter assembly 1-1 and the second rain shelter assembly 1-2. When the curtain assemblies 1-13 of the first rain shelter assembly 1-1 and the second rain shelter assembly 1-2 are in the extended state, the third rain shelter 1-18 is also in the extended state. When the curtain assemblies 1-13 of the first rain shelter assembly 1-1 and the second rain shelter assembly 1-2 are in the retracted state, the third rain shelter 1-18 is also in the retracted state.

[0082] See Figure 8 , based on the same inventive concept, the present application also proposes a control method applied to the rain shelter device. The rain shelter device further includes a controller electrically connected to the two rain shelter mechanisms 1. The control method includes:

[0083] Step S11, the controller obtains a rain shelter instruction.

[0084] Specifically, after the rain shelter device is powered on, the controller is in a standby state. It is determined by the controller whether a rain shelter instruction is received. The rain shelter instruction is a rain shelter instruction issued by the user. For example, the user clicks the rain shelter function button on the remote control car key, or the user clicks the rain shelter function button on the control panel inside the vehicle body 2. Other implementation manners are not enumerated here. In this embodiment, there are two rain shelter function buttons, respectively controlling the actions of the two rain shelter mechanisms 1.

[0085] In step S12, the controller controls the corresponding rain shelter mechanism 1 to act according to the rain shelter instruction. The housings 1-11 of the first rain shelter assembly 1-1 and the second rain shelter assembly 1-2 rise, so that the housings 1-11 are located at the second position. The action ends of the driving members of the first rain shelter assembly 1-1 and the second rain shelter assembly 1-2 rotate, and the curtain assemblies 1-13 of the first rain shelter assembly 1-1 and the second rain shelter assembly 1-2 extend, so that the curtain assemblies are in the unfolded state.

[0086] Specifically, the controller controls the first lifting member 1-16 of the corresponding rain shelter mechanism 1 to act according to the rain shelter instruction. The action end of the first lifting member 1-16 drives the housing 1-11 to rise, so that the housing 1-11 is located at the second position, raising the height of the curtain assembly 1-13 and preventing people from bending down to enter the vehicle. The controller controls the second lifting member 1-23 of the corresponding rain shelter mechanism 1 to act according to the rain shelter instruction. The second lifting member 1-23 pushes the bracket of the second rain shelter assembly 1-2 to rise, so that the bracket of the second rain shelter assembly 1-2 rotates on the support member 1-22 to the horizontal state, so that the housing of the second rain shelter assembly 1-2 is parallel to the ground, ensuring that the curtain assemblies 1-13 of the second rain shelter assembly 1-2 and the first rain shelter assembly 1-1 tend to be in the same plane when in the unfolded state, ensuring that people can get on and off the vehicle normally without being bumped by the curtain assembly 1-13 of the second rain shelter assembly 1-2, and improving the user experience. The controller controls the action end of the driving member 1-12 of the corresponding rain shelter mechanism 1 to rotate according to the rain shelter instruction. The curtain assemblies 1-13 of the first rain shelter assembly 1-1 and the second rain shelter assembly 1-2 extend, so that the curtain assemblies 1-13 are in the unfolded state, and rain shelter can be carried out to prevent people from getting wet when getting on and off the vehicle.

[0087] In this embodiment, the rain shelter instruction includes a first rain shelter instruction and a second rain shelter instruction. The controller controls one of the two rain shelter mechanisms 1 to act according to the first rain shelter instruction, and the controller controls the other rain shelter mechanism 1 of the two rain shelter mechanisms 1 to act according to the second rain shelter instruction. When there are people entering and exiting on the driver's side, the controller receives the first rain shelter instruction. When there are people entering and exiting on the passenger's side, the controller receives the second rain shelter instruction. When there are people entering and exiting on both the driver's side and the passenger's side, the controller receives the first rain shelter instruction and the second rain shelter instruction simultaneously.

[0088] In step S13, the controller obtains the instruction that the rain shelter is completed.

[0089] Specifically, after the rain shield device is powered on, the controller is in a standby state. The controller determines whether it has received a rain shield completion instruction, which is an instruction sent by the user, such as when the user clicks the rain shield completion function button on the remote control car key or when the user clicks the rain shield completion function button on the control panel inside the vehicle body 2. Other implementation methods are not enumerated here. In this embodiment, there are two rain shield completion function buttons, which respectively control the actions of the two rain shield mechanisms 1.

[0090] Step S14, the controller controls the corresponding rain shield mechanism 1 to act according to the rain shield completion instruction. The action ends of the driving parts of the first rain shield assembly 1-1 and the second rain shield assembly 1-2 rotate, and the curtain assemblies 1-13 of the first rain shield assembly 1-1 and the second rain shield assembly 1-2 are retracted so that the curtain assemblies are in a retracted state, and the housings 1-11 of the first rain shield assembly 1-1 and the second rain shield assembly 1-2 descend so that the housings 1-11 are located at the first position.

[0091] Specifically, the controller controls the driving part 1-12 of the corresponding rain shield mechanism 1 to act according to the rain shield instruction. The action ends of the driving parts of the first rain shield assembly 1-1 and the second rain shield assembly 1-2 rotate, and the curtain assemblies 1-13 of the first rain shield assembly 1-1 and the second rain shield assembly 1-2 are retracted so that the curtain assemblies 1-13 are in a retracted state. The controller controls the second lifting part 1-23 of the corresponding rain shield mechanism 1 to act according to the rain shield completion instruction. The second lifting part 1-23 pulls the bracket of the second rain shield assembly 1-2 to descend, so that the bracket of the second rain shield assembly 1-2 rotates to an inclined state on the support part 1-22, so that the housing of the second rain shield assembly 1-2 is parallel to the A-pillar 2-2 to ensure aesthetics. The controller controls the first lifting part 1-16 of the corresponding rain shield mechanism 1 to act according to the rain shield instruction. The housings of the first rain shield assembly 1-1 and the second rain shield assembly 1-2 descend so that the housings 1-11 are located at the first position, which occupies less space, is convenient for layout, and ensures aesthetics.

[0092] In this embodiment, the rain shield completion instruction includes a first rain shield completion instruction and a second rain shield completion instruction. The controller controls one of the two rain shield mechanisms 1 to act according to the first rain shield completion instruction, and the controller controls the other rain shield mechanism 1 to act according to the second rain shield completion instruction. When the person on the driver's side finishes entering and exiting, the controller receives the first rain shield completion instruction. When the person on the passenger's side finishes entering and exiting, the controller receives the second rain shield completion instruction. When the people on both the driver's side and the passenger's side finish entering and exiting, the controller receives the first rain shield completion instruction and the second rain shield completion instruction simultaneously.

[0093] In some embodiments, the rain shield device further includes a rangefinder for detecting the distance between the end of the curtain assembly 1-13 facing away from the driving member 1-12 and an obstacle. The rangefinder is provided at the end of the curtain assembly 1-13 facing away from the driving member 1-12 and is electrically connected to the controller. The control method further includes:

[0094] Step S15: Obtain the distance value detected by the rangefinder.

[0095] Specifically, the rangefinder detects the distance between the end of the curtain assembly 1-13 facing away from the driving member 1-12 and the obstacle, and sends the detected distance value to the controller.

[0096] Step S16: If the distance value is less than or equal to a preset distance value, the controller sends a stop signal to the driving member.

[0097] Specifically, the controller compares the distance value detected by the rangefinder with the preset distance value. If the distance value is less than or equal to the preset distance value, the controller sends a stop signal to the driving member 1-12 to make the driving member 1-12 stop operating, avoiding the curtain assembly 1-13 from hitting the obstacle, ensuring the safety of the curtain assembly 1-13, and extending the service life of the curtain assembly 1-13.

[0098] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the examples, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
